FATIGUE: Holly was brutally assaulted in Cincinnati. She’s a single working mom who went to a friend’s birthday party. It’s unconscionable that there were no police present in that area of Cincinnati on a Friday night, or even an ambulance to take her to the hospital.

I spoke to Holly earlier today (the woman tragically assaulted in Cincinnati this weekend). She’s a single working mom who went to a friend’s birthday party. It’s unconscionable that there were no police present in that area of Cincinnati on a Friday night, or even an ambulance to take her to the hospital. Hard-working Americans shouldn’t have to worry for their safety when they have a good time in our cities. Holly said not a single local or state official had yet reached out as of earlier this afternoon, other than one police detective. Leftists like to lecture about ‘systemic injustice’ while thugs turn our turn cities into war zones. I’m done with their excuses. As governor, I’ll make sure they’re behind bars, not running wild. Our cops will have the green light to restore order—no apologies. Holly appreciates the kind words and prayers from patriots across the country, and hopes that the publicity around her story ensures that local & state leaders clean up our failing cities. We hope to visit Holly soon as she recovers.

The DEATH OF JAZZ?


Rick Beato finally interviewed Miss Fusion Freak, she likes to bop her head like a retard as she plays 'nu jazz'
Uehara Hiromi I think she married some fashion faggot

Hiromi seems to have missed how everything moved on while she remained stuck inside this Jazzy Solos genre for people in their smokey NY rooms, a cliche of depressed people listening to Trios and Quartette, the audience almost not paying any attention but wondering what Cigars To Pair With Cognac. Tony Ann from Vancouver shows it can be done better with simplicity, stronger melody and strong more simple harmony and composition and he's suddenly a star on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok.

Is Jazz noise when those egos try to show off with solos...or does it just rub a lot of people the wrong way?
She has a great ear and great skills but I just dont like the new jazz stuff
When she played at the Olympic ceremony I thought she was terrible, literally banging and punching the piano like an idiot from an insane asylum or maybe some person on too much Caffeine, Amphetamines, Cocaine and 'Es' or MDMA, I had not seen much of her before this...but I thought the Olympic crap was easily one of her worst performances....or maybe it wasnt modal but modulation it wasnt 6/8 and 7/8 but weird badly timed 13/4 rhythms and non functioning harmony...is it any wonder people just ignore jazz or let jazz solo and do it own thing?
Her 7/8 and 6/8 modal mix flat and shaper notes for "Spectrum" at the Olympics was just terrible...if you want to hear modal odd time stuff groove just listen to Balkan music or go to the Hindi performances of Indian musicians...I get there is a composition or melody or time behind what she was supposed to perform but all I could really hear was 'noise' at the Olympics performance. The goofy looking retard grins she made added nothing to the performance maybe turned it more into a bad joke.
She is a lot more chilled and philosophical with Rick.
I guess its also an interesting interview if you are into that modern jazz crap. Her first music teacher Noriko Hidaka sounds like an interesting person, same name of a famous Actress.

'The Great' Hiromi
She is highly rated and loved by the elite magazines, so has she played among those posh assholes in Newport, Rhode Island?
I respect her ear, she has an amazing ability to analyze other players as a machine mind does but I am just not into the 'Art Form' of this new jazzy stuff. However some Jazz I do enjoy.

maybe she finally washed herself for the interview...I think when she's got dressed up in a red dress for the Olympics performance she usually she goes around looking like one of those homeless rasta blues street person bums?
I hear the talent at time in play/performance and I almost even like how she plays well but I just do not 'get it' and at times I just dont like it, sometimes you can hear the 'BerkleeFunk' under the notes she plays. She is a great player and can be a great player and just dont really enjoy the nu-jazz style and I think its also a dislike of much of 'Modern Jazz'
Some Record Label in Cleveland, Ohio owns her, its not mainstream one of those 'Jazz' Country Blues Labels I think

Greatest Musician?
people fawn over her a lot, ...well the jazz magazines! it kind of sounds like a mess to my ears or a lot of muscle memory with a superficial cut and paste of commercial advert jingles ...just bang out any old solo or melody wacko stuff anyway and keep bopping that head...and give all in the band their solo especially the Sax guy. Perhaps jazz people are bored by harmony, they like their disorders such as borderline personality disorder or bipolar disorder or forgetting to wash and pay the bills. Charlie Parker's "Lover Man" famous for poor performance, drugged and drunk out of his mind. Robert Glasper go into trouble for a comment...its 'MeToo' for a comment? ...and yet there are far more sick, criminal and destructive people worshiped in the jazz industry, Art Pepper rapes a woman and its ok and he willfully admitted to it in his autobiography. Buddy Rich yeah a very skilled drummer but I dont hear the musicality and he was not terribly pleasant the Primadonna numero uno 'Asshole' unless you want to talk about others like Charles Mingus shooting his guns at people.
and whatever you do, do not mention Kenny Gorelick, better known as Kenny G!
while the lesser jazz bums are know for their dumb pretentious solos, destructive lifestyles, dont tell them in the jazz world that Kenny G has a net worth of $100 million plus

Hiromi
she seems to use lots of quotes from jazz standards and I'm not really into jazz and somehow when she doesnt improv she's suddenly above a 'rip off; allowed to take work of other Anime music artists
I like her energy and drive, great skill in fast songs I think maybe she wanted to be the next Chick Corea Fusion but there's something missing, his switch between energy and light touch, his direction, the space between notes, the Latin type of sexy dance and smoothness...something where less could be more? Chick Corea was very advanced but he was often 'easy listening' and knew how far to push it.
She did some Saxophone Cartoon thing

I know she did a Manga Toon and played at the Olympics but I dont know any of her stuff that is considered 'jazz standards'.

Some Jazz I liked Brubeck for example even though its not Blues it pushed the envelope, its good. Many have a consensus with 'greats' nobody would tell you the Classical guys are not greats Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin, Sibelius, Vivaldi, deBussy, Bach composers way ahead of their time that inspired the modern movie soundtrack scores.
Django Reinhardt for example respected as an incredible guitarist, its own gypsy jazz flavor.

Some are under rated, Nat King Cole for example a lot of skills at the Piano a very under-rated instrumental player.

but with Hiromi I kind of 'cringe' at it all

Rick Beato Loves it?



So I guess she's finally found some mainstream fame

I think there are a lot of Pop or Blues or Rock or Classical Orchestra Compositions or World Folk Music that a lot of people enjoy but 'jazz' is one of those weird things, it can rub people the wrong way, why some like it or dislike it maybe its just personal tastes and 'Art' and the taste can not be explained

She is known for putting on a show with piano while most of Japan said 'FUCK THE OLYMPICS'

maybe something happened to Jazz, its like the other art forms the paintings and statues one time were for Kings and Nations and 'The People' but then over time "Artism" creeps in. The Jazz people became part of the modern art movement, the fans and musicians ruined it and restrict this movement it became highbrow culture. I like looking and listening to its journey the mix of cultures in the New Orleans, Caribbean, the Deep South and Chicago and New York until all these Afro rhythms and European Harmony and exotic instruments from all parts of the world became new world instruments and a new sound was born. A sound developing from the Civil War to the 1930s and 1940s, and until the 60s but then something went wrong with it all. Jazz as it once was is dead, this jazz enjoyed a period of enormous and wide popularity, with big-band swing jazz becoming all the rage. However, by the mid-1950s and post 60s everything became pretentious modern? This Jazz thing it was first a joke term, it wasnt meant to take itself so serious and it used to be a peoples music but then 'Jazz' started to climb up its own ass and gaze into its own anus the Musicians of Pretentious. A culture that likes to blab about itself as these top musical elitists? and the whole musician culture going nowhere and so full of negativity, every drunken stoned bum of a jazz musician treats it like it's the highest zen Buddha nirvana the holy grail of music and looks down on all other genres. It does experiment but it can be as dumb as a bunch of the Beatles, Iggy Pop, Whitney Houston and Ozzy in a room drunk and stoned out of their minds and talking crap, famous ‘free jazz’ albums, it is literally just twenty-nine minutes and seven seconds I think I actually like old jazz better when it was circus music, people doing something on stage, lonely people something that would take you back to the roots of the Juke Joints and Dance Halls in the recent movie 'Sinners' it used to be something the old people and kids would 'Jive' and Charleston to, it had an interesting phrase or lyric, now its a bunch of crap solos and people trying to impress playing as many notes as fast as possible....maybe 'jazz' is the way it is because its not just up its own ass but also because of the schizophrenic political mess the USA and the Western world has become?

Rick Beato went viral a long time ago when it was discovered he trained his kid to have 'perfect pitch' he is great on bass, guitar, songwriter, audio engineer, probably did a lot of mixing on all those Pop/Rock songs you hear on the radio. Rick Beato he's an online educator giving free tips and somewhat of an activist against the Big Machine he used to work for.
There is that whole online business of constantly promoting yourself and your own channel, Lackey vs Sycophant, starting to become this flatterer, toady, groveller...rubbing elbows with the next online personality, constantly try to give sales, buy buy, selling your book. I don't believe Rick Beato is being dishonest here, I do believe he has a genuine 'Love For Jazz' and he probably does fawn over Hiromi's music

maybe people could do some more interesting and honest videos

Why Jazz Isn’t Cool Anymore...it hasn't been cool since the counterculture movement of the 1960s...it will probably die looking inside its own Anus and it has not been the people's music for many decades. Jazz is like telling you a crap bottle of wine tastes as good as the greats, music people found that telling people Plonk or Goon or some type of Gut Rot is more expensive and sophisticated than it really is resulted in more positive reviews from magazine critics...I'm somewhat glad its all coming to an end ...Le magazine français consacré au jazz, the elite "Jazz magazines"...as the western world decays and goes more schizophrenic all this elite jazz crap might finally die with it.

Cincinnati Jazz Festival that's more know for its violent street mob brawls while a bunch of wannabe posh people pay over for priced tickets and some crap performances...Detroit Jazz Festival it turned into a sad dirty show, crime, the smell of drugs and urine with safety protocols, a festival that has moved away from the original Blues Jazz Music of Detroit.
Can Jazz continue and will it ever be as great as it once was?
It is trying to do things different? Yup the Free jazz rubs many the wrong way, which is definitely not meant to be easily appreciated, it just seems dumb, pretentious again, in performace often the people dont synch, lack of form or structure. The whole thing has become associated with a pretentious, elitist audience; extremely destructive and the positive in all this is all those dumb Jazz Festivals = Dying! I hear some of the elite ones like Montreux Jazz Festival the Swiss, Montréal, Canada are now bringing in tone deaf Rappers, guys known for screeching and shouting Heavy Metal screams and Pop music to try keep themselves relevant.

and yup Rick Beato Loves It!
Hiromi
but I don't believe he's a toady here, I dont believe he's a Flatterer...I think he has a genuine Love for it. That world of pretentious 'Modern Jazz' some people have a genuine love for it.
